why you'll like it On a quiet, tree lined street in Kemp Town just a 15 minute walk to the cultural heart of the city this gabled Victorian home has great kerb appeal. Inside, this warm and stylish family home has been sympathetically decorated throughout. The inviting hallway has period features including traditional Victorian black and white floor tiles and takes you through to the living room benefitting from high ceilings and solid wood floorboards. This is a room for all seasons where sunlight streams through the broad south bay on sunny days and in the colder months the wood burner with stylish marble surround will keep you cosy. Further along the hallway, next door is the dining room which also houses a feature fireplace and large sash window looking over a broad side return. Please note, some neighbours have put French doors here or extended the kitchen into this area, subject to the usual consents. There is also the opportunity to knock through from the living room into the dining room for those who prefer more open plan living.

Shaker units are topped by family friendly work surfaces and there is a stylish terracotta tiled floor & integrated oven.
